This is a presentation on "Lean & Agile Organizational Leadership: History, Theory, Models, & Popular Ideas," which are emerging models for managing high-risk, time-sensitive R&D-oriented new product development (NPD) projects with demanding customers and fast-changing market conditions (at the enterprise, portfolio, and program levels). It establishes the context, provide a definition, and describe the value-system for lean and agile methods, principles, and core ideas. It provides a brief history and comparative analysis of agile methods (i.e., Crystal Methods, Scrum, Dynamic Systems Development Method, Feature Driven Development, and Extreme Programming), project management models (i.e., Radical, Adaptive, Extreme, Agile, and Simplified Agile), and portfolio frameworks (i.e., Enterprise Scrum, Scaled Agile Framework, Large Scale Scrum, Disciplined Agile Delivery, and Recipes for Agile Governance). Then it provides multiple histories of the fields of organizational leadership, administration, and management over the last 100 years. It then introduces, delves into, describes, and provides a brief survey and comparative analysis of emerging theories, models, and methods of lean and agile leadership (i.e., Agile, Employee, Radical, Lean, and Leadership 3.0). Finally, it closes with an expose of the top organizational change paradigms most closely aligned with the field of lean and agile development, project management, and portfolio management methodologies (along with a unique summary of the major tenets, principles, and practices of lean & agile organizational leadership). This briefing has been warmly received by multiple U.S. government agencies, contractors, and university audiences throughout Baltimore-Washington, DC.

Comparing Ways to Scale Agile at Agile Product and Project Manager MeetupBernd Schiffer
Session "Comparing Ways to Scale Agile" at the Agile Product and Project Manager Meetup in Melbourne, Australia.
These days organisations are looking for support to scale their Agile environment. There’s a difference between having one Agile team on its own, or to have several Agile teams providing value to the customer and interacting with each other.
This session will give an overview and comparison of all the different Agile scaling approaches out there, i.e.:
* Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
* Evidence-Based Management (EBMgt)
* Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
* Enterprise Transition Framework (ETF)
* Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)
* ScALeD Agile Lean Development
* Scaling Agile @ Spotify (SA@S)
* Product Development Flow by Reinertsen (PDFbyR)
This guide summaries a successful Agile transformation in Telco with a related case study.
Do not take the described steps of this guide as the only way to be successful, there can be many other alternatives for sure. However, this guide explains a way thats experienced to be successful in many companies and under different circumstances.
Looking forward to hear your comments & suggestions
Thanks

Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes based progress. It's about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.
Deploying Hoshin Kanri as a Competitive WeaponGrant Crow
This presentation evaluates the Hoshin Kanri concept, what it is, how it works, what can go wrong and how to make Hoshin really work.
Slide 3: Most people familiar with Hoshin Kanri will know that it translates from Japanese into a "Vision Compass". More importantly, Hoshin is gaining traction due to its recognition of the need to link direction (strategy formulation) with management (implementation).
Slide 4: A key feature of Hoshin Kanri is the concept of Breakthrough Objectives. The concept encourages aggressive objectives together with a structured method for cascading these and breaking them down into manageable pieces.
Slides 5 and 6 address common responses from executives one might encounter when trying to introduce Hoshin Kanri together with the symptoms suggesting that Hoshin Planning is required. The symptoms listed will strike a chord with many readers and represent the product of poor strategy execution.
Slide 8 identifies some of the many leading organizations using Hoshin as their strategy execution methodology. The majority of organizations that we at i-nexus are talking to (particularly in the USA) are either considering implementing Hoshin Kanri or have already made a start.
Slide 9 identifies the value of having a strong strategy execution system by tracking share price performance.
Slides 11 and 12 introduce the link between Hoshin Kanri, and in particular the X matrix concept, and Balanced Scorecards. The traditional Balanced Scorecard clearly introduced value by looking at business metrics from more than purely a financial perspective. In contrast however, the X matrix is a far more robust tool for supporting strategy implementation. The various faces of the X matrix (South, West, North and East) detail the WHAT, HOW FAR, HOW and HOW MUCH of the strategy. Having said that, the X matrix is by no means universally popular as a Hoshin tool and is regarded by some CEO's as too complex. It is clearly a tool more likely to provide value in organizations that are more mature in their strategy execution journey.
Slide 13 shows an example of how the i-nexus software supports both the Hoshin X matrix and Scorecards.
Slide 15 identifies the critical role of the bowling chart in linking between the X matrix and action plans and its use a key management tool to track achievement and lack thereof against goals.
Slide 17 identifies "culture change" as a key barrier to effective Hoshin. Many of our customers do find that the greater transparency achieved with i-nexus can be seen as a threat. This needs to be managed carefully with problems (red traffic lights) seen as discussion points rather than failure.
Slide 22 provides an example of an A3 report. Many i-nexus customers find visual management of progress to be key to obtaining commitment to Hoshin.
Finally slide 24 looks at the value of Hoshin countermeasures in enabling early identification and resolution of barriers to progress.

Research has shown that a simple idea, the mindset, could affect the way we lead our lives. But not only affect us as individuals but could also affect our organisation's "agility". being aware of the two types of mindsets, fixed and growth or as Linda Rising like to name agile mindset, is the first step towards changing your mindset and your organisation's one! this material has been used to facilitate a learning lab that organised by Ericsson's High Performing Team Environment network of coaches.
Immer mehr Organisationen setzen Flight Levels als ein Denkmodell ein, damit das Unternehmen agil am Markt agieren kann. Dafür braucht es sehr viel mehr, als einfach nur ein paar Teams zu agilisieren. In diesem Vortrag werde ich anhand eines Unternehmens zeigen, wie Flight Levels dafür verwendet werden, teamübergreifende Business Agilität zu erreichen. Ich werde auch darauf eingehen, welche Boards gebaut wurden, um agile Interaktionen zwischen den Teams zu etablieren und wie sich die Arbeit über die Boards bewegt, damit strategisches Alignment in der gesamten Organisation erreicht wird.

Over the 16 years that we've been providing support to organizations at nearly every stage of the Lean journey, leadership has consistently emerged as the single most important determinant of success. Those organizations with deep leadership engagement soar, while those who don't fail to experience significant transformation.
In this first of three webinars, Karen shares the perspective and content that she and her team use when working with executives and senior leadership teams within the firm's clients.
She review the system of Lean principles, management practices, and tools, and then focuses on 6 of the topics leaders most commonly misunderstand or are unaware of:
1. Three of the core values that underlie Lean management
2. Key performance indicators
3. Visual management
4. Work standardization
5. Go and see (Gemba) management
6. The one environmental "don't" that destroys all Lean effort

Portfolio Management in an Agile World - Rick AustinLeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. Rick Austin illustrates how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.
These case studies can help readers to practices many simulated scenarios. These are case studies will be asked in Transformation related interviews.
All these case studies are from my 4 books, The Agilis's Guidebook, The Scrum Master Guidebook, Personal Leadership & Self-Coaching Guidebook, and A Guidebook of Coaching High-Performance team.

10 steps to a successsful enterprise agile transformation global scrum 2018Agile Velocity
Presented at Scrum Gathering Minneapolis, Senior Agile Coach and Trainer Mike Hall provides leaders and managers 10 steps to a successful enterprise Agile transformation.
Hoshin Kanri process is a powerful strategy deployment methodology for defining long-range key entity objectives. These are breakthrough objectives that extend two to five years with little change. In addition, the Hoshin Kanri process does not lose sight of the day-to-day business measures required to run the business successfully. This dual approach provides an extended period of time for the organization to focus its breakthrough effort, and at the same time, continuously improving key business processes day to day. This methodology continues to be used by some of the world's most successful companies such as Toyota, Hewlett-Packard and Texas Instruments.
BENEFITS
1. Focuses the entire company on a few vital goals, rather than the trivial many
2. Creates alignment towards breakthrough objectives through involvement of the whole management team in the planning process
3. Communicates the key goals to all managers and staff
4. Integrates and encourages cross-functional cooperation to achieve breakthroughs
5. A review process which holds participants accountable for achieving their part of the plan
CONTENTS
1. Introduction to Hoshin Kanri
2. Underlying Principles of Hoshin Kanri
3. Hoshin Kanri Process Using PDCA Approach
4. Hoshin Kanri Tools
5. Elements of Hoshin Kanri

Lean & Agile Enterprise Frameworks: For Managing Large U.S. Government Cloud ...David Rico
This is a presentation on "Lean & Agile Enterprise Frameworks: For Managing Large U.S. Government Cloud Computing Projects," which are emerging models for managing high-risk, time-sensitive R&D-oriented new product development (NPD) projects with demanding customers and fast-changing market conditions (at the enterprise, portfolio, and program levels). It establishes the context, provide a definition, and describe the value-system for lean and agile program and project management. It provides a brief survey and comparative analysis of the pros and cons of emerging lean and agile frameworks such as Enterprise Scrum, LeSS, DaD, SAFe, and RAGE. Then it describes the Scaled Agile Academy's Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in greater detail (which is the de facto international standard for scaling the use of agile methods to the enterprise, portfolio, and program levels for both systems and software development). SAFe is hybrid model best known for "blending" megatrends such as lean and agile principles into a single unified framework, establishing an authoritative foundation for scaling agile methods to large-scale private and public sector programs, and unifying East (lean) and West (agile) into a common language for systems and software development that is both lean "and" agile. In addition to SAFe case studies, late-breaking developments on the use of "Continuous Delivery," "DevOps," and bleeding-edge "Unstructured Web Databases" at Google and Amazon to automate large sections of the enterprise value stream will be discussed (which has been successfully used by some of the world's largest firms to boost organizational productivity by one or two orders of magnitude). This briefing has been warmly received by multiple U.S. government agencies, contractors, and PMI audiences throughout Baltimore-Washington, DC.
An Educational Leadership class presentation describing how to use data and information visualization in team leadership, change management, and complex problem solving. Also skills for developing infographics
Using SAFe to Manage U.S. Government Agencies, Portfolios, & Acquisition Prog...David Rico
Highly-practical overview of the growth of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 4.5 for managing multi-billion dollar U.S. Government portfolios of Petabyte-Scale Cloud-Computing Data Center-based Repositories. Starts with a brief definition and overview of portfolio management, agile timelines, government adoption, sample of competing lean and agile frameworks, and then goes into a deep-dive and cross examination of SAFe 4.5's major anatomical elements. Focuses on principles of lean and agile portfolio management, leadership, business value, and, more importantly the lean and agile value system itself. Clears up nagging misconceptions concerning SAFe, like it’s undeserved reputation as a heavy, unproven WIP-intensive traditional framework (by focusing on lean and agile thinking, practical real-world business value, and the softer principles of the agile manifesto like conversations, visualizations, flexibility, simplicity, and continuous improvement).

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
